* Articles should have some connection to both media issues and legally defined disabilities. (Some attitude and history studies are included as well.)

* Articles may be from academic journals, books, government reports, language and reporting guides, and full academic paper presentations.

* Self promotion encouraged. Please tell us what you have published or presented in this area. Book chapters will be listed as separate entries unless the entire book is about disability and media issues.

* The goal is a comprehensive listing. The project will not assess the validity or reliability of the research articles included; that will be for individual researchers to decide.

Very comprehensive compilation of useful resources. I'd like to make an addition to the list. It's a wearable artificial vision device for visual disability. It works best when attached to an eyeglasses frame. It reads text from almost any surface and converts it to the audio. Then, it speaks it to the wearer via built-in speakers. Beside reading, this blind assistive technology recognize money notes, colors and even people's faces.

My name is jose.The conclusion by medical doctors that HIV has no cure is certainly not true because I’m a leaving testimony of how Dr ogbela uses black seed extracts and other herbal materials to cure HIV/AIDS and HERPES virus. I was leaving with HIV for more than 8years, consulted many doctors for treatment but all they administer is antiretroviral drugs which depresses me even more. On this blessed day i went to the river side to reflect and maybe commit suicide due to HIV. While there a lady ELOA noticed i was deep in thoughts and ask me what the trouble is and i told her my pains she offered to help because she has also benefited from Dr. ogbela cure. Right there she sent a mail to an African based herbalist (Dr ogbela) who replied and requested i send him information about myself. This conversation changed my story for good because less than 3 weeks of using his herbal remedies which he sent to me through courier the virus was completely out of my body and this shocked my personal home doctors. One would have thought the solution to this demon called (HIV), Herpes, Cancer or HPV etc would come from the world recognized scientists. Hey, if you are tired of antiretroviral drugs, heartbroken and in need of solution contact him on: (drogbelaherbalhome@gmail.com) or watsapp +2348136354191 and be saved.
